MISSOULA, Mont. — Donald Trump praised a Republican candidate’s
assault last year on a reporter and fumed over his Democratic
opponents here on Thursday night in a freewheeling rally meant to
mobilize his base’s support in the coming midterm elections.
In urging the crowd to vote for Representative Greg Gianforte, who is
running for re-election and who was sentenced to anger management
classes and community service for assaulting a reporter last spring,
Mr. Trump jokingly warned the crowd to “never wrestle him.”
“I had heard he body-slammed a reporter,” Mr. Trump said, noting that
he was initially concerned that Mr. Gianforte would lose in a special
election last May. “I said, ‘Wait a minute. I know Montana pretty
well; I think it might help him.’ And it did.”
“Anybody that can do a body-slam,” the president added, “that’s my
kind of guy.”
Mr. Trump made no mention at the rally of Jamal Khashoggi, a
dissident Saudi journalist and columnist for The Washington Post, who
disappeared this month after visiting the Saudi Consulate in
Istanbul. United States intelligence officials say Mr. Khashoggi was
most likely killed by Saudi officials.
The Guardian U.S., which employs the reporter whom Mr. Gianforte
body-slammed, issued a statement on Thursday night after Mr. Trump
finished speaking.
“To celebrate an attack on a journalist who was simply doing his job
is an attack on the First Amendment by someone who has taken an oath
to defend it,” said John Mulholland, the editor of The Guardian U.S.
“In the aftermath of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, it runs the risk
of inviting other assaults on journalists both here and across the
world where they often face far greater threats.”

Puke.
So now the Dems are trying to make a scandal out of campaign humor.
They are all over MSNBC today comparing Trump's humorous comments
about a "body slam" to the death and hacking up of the journalist in
Saudi Arabia.
Oh wait ... they claim they are "journalists" also.
There's nothing funny about physical beatings.
Whhhaaaaa
